Auld Lang Syne, of Soul

Deeply rooted truths, realities,
Comapassion, playings, labors, of loves:

Human commonalities are the commons of humanity,
Perennial, mostly buried, by all civilizations.

Source of all Human Revolutions against oppressions.
Not to be aware of buried, human treasure is easy:

Our primal roots and tubers
Of Earth's eco-family-community humanness!

Covered-over by the highways of personal,
Expedient, career and institutional selves.

Soul artifacts: underneath, national,
Commercial and political selves:

Underneath our intellect-egoselves'
Materialistic, diverse empires of domination.

II.
Not to join in the archaeological dig
For the organismic essences of humanity!

Not to yearn for the respringing and enculturation
Of natural, whole, human self and whole being!

To merely accept the ongoing sufferings
And inequities of the bulk of humankind!

III.
Human life (and being) is not a case
of  "to be or not to be".

It is a case of where and what to be,
And how to be that whatness;

And why to be that whyness.
There in our home of human beings.

It is a case of the becoming of,
And sustainment of, human beings--

Beyond the case of mere
Human organisms remaing alive;

Beyond our brains' and bodies' growth;
Beyond health and life, of our brain-body organisms.

IV.
Our human ecosphere-habitat is our where
We journey through our human beingness,

Is where our eco-nature-human being;
Finds what to love, how to love, and why to love.

Should these grown attainments be forgot?
Or, ever be our find!

Studios of Love


When our human Soul breaks through --
Into lyrics, voice and tunes;
All make united love, come true.

All live together in a room
Next to human being's oldest loom;

One part of Human Soul, is reconceived
Through a passageway to rebirth, thus received!

Spring again our lovings so old!
All occuring in sound-hearing-speech room--
Recording studio of Soul.

Enter, then, all studios of old:
Babe, through breast and eye, is told;
Of Parents-children mealtime lovings,

Working, playing, ever bequeathing :
Family-love-community foreseeing.

Enter all studio life-flows.
In Human watersheds, Earthly-Humans know

That our replenishments of Love
Make human soul and grace still flow.

We Shall Stumble Home

for Gary S. Snyder (and his knowing how to be)

I
You know, friends of Earth-Humanity,
Ever longing to be free,

From art's paradise lost;
We may, again, come to be:

From restoring at all cost
Old humanity, now lost,

We'll  find and re-become as one
Streambeds of human nature's run.

II
And whole, again, midst Mother Earth,
We shall discover our rebirth;

Find our Home, in Earth again,
Calling back Her child within;

Yes, reinstill our Life with Soul,
Some natural way.

Yes, we shall stumble Home again,
Some natural day.

Literature as Epitaph for Humanity

Literature seeps, reaches our immortal,
species' Seed-sprouts; tapping our primordial.

Voice shuns Desire's cold, written speech--
Words painting bright, our species waning bleak;

Voice tastes not, the news'  conversations:
Tonque licks, the olds'  tribe-relations.

Soul sighs! Timed-strewn, voice-pearls form.
Through mind-heart will, our species reborn

Human being's scrawled, Earth-speech?  
Epitaph for Soul, long breached.

Children Born Free: Natural Culture

American Youth of the 1960's and 70's counterculture were told: "Get your act
together!" More recently, the acts on the stages of the Human Circus-Zoo--
called "modern civilization"-- are more automatically programmed via an
artificialization of childhood. But, a deeper pondering asks: of what kind, and
of what merit, are these un-natural, unecological choices! These fabricated
choices made on such slippery, mechanical, digital, virtual slopes!

These choices are provided to our children throughout youth's long, dietary,
spirit-being-culture-mind salad of scientific 'certainty', spiritual-ontological confusion, high-technicized senses and perception, digitalized, cyberized
language and relationships, spiritual-ontological frustration, commercial adulteration, and the ego's inflation.

An inflated ego that eclipses the whole human self -- human self as organismic union of family, community, mind, consciousness, being, spirit and culture; all within Earth-life!

Is this chaos of exploding, fragmenting, naturally evolved, human being and
socioculture merely stuff for social theories, and engineered, corporate,
cultural empires! Merely stuff for humanity as egocentric careers and
comodities! Have not our pesonal selves, our families, our communities, our
cultures and our particular ancestors emerged from, with and by means of,
our long-running, natural humanness; carried through, and around, written
historical time; carried through and around history's enslaved, subjugated, 
human being! Carried primarily, by our innate, evolved, organismic, naturalistic,
Earth-folk Society and Culture! By the Earth-life-Humanity relationship!

Dare we evoke, through deepest human restorations, a deep soul-rebellion!
Shall we proclaim that our very humanness cannot be perpetuated, be
socioculturally reproduced, be sustained, for human posterity without sufficiently
preserving our root human being, nature, spirit and culture, all resprouting
from our, original, Paleolithic being! That we must and we shall, excavate our
200,000 year-old ecovillages as birthrights of our human species!

Shall we abandon achaeology of things for archaeology of our soul! Shall we
replace excavations for career's passion with excavations for lost, wide, deep,
manifold, human loves. Loves, once, innate and free.

Literature: Flash of Human Being

Through epiphanies in being's time,
We know when immortal line
Escapes construction of the mortal mind.

We know even common man
Can feed the fire of the soul,
Send up the leap of flame,
That sends out the flash of light
Into the chilling, mortal night
The arrogant, civil tongue calls culture.

We know when words,
Older than civil mind,
Escape storms of novelty
To flash their light.

We glimpse truth's glistening flow
Through  commercial, allocated daze;
Yet, leash our tongue to sanctioned ways
Not to make a show.

The Human Environmental Movement




















(Penan natives blockade logging road, 1990's)

"I feel deep shame when I look into the eyes of my grandchildren and think
how much damage has been done to planet Earth." -- Jane Goodall Time Aug 18, 2002


We need to become proactive in our quest to save
ecosystems from destruction, saving, as well, their wildlife
species from the progressing extinctions witnessed within Earth's environment!

We need a rooted movement to restore and conserve
human wildlife -- our human naturality, the natural human condition, 
evolved within the wild Earth-life, called wilderness or the wild.

The onus of the Environmental Movement must be shifted
into our inner selves, into the constituent makeup of our human
being, spirit, mind, heart, soul, consciousness, perception,
intelligence, families, communties, culture and life way.

We need a Human Renaturalization Movement, the only
pathway back into our original, evolved, natural nature-
human relationship. This movement must enable the people
to become renaturalized and gather together to reclaim from
their bought-off representatives the sustainability, well-being
and fate of Earth's humanity and all of Earth's ecosystems-
habitats.

Without this movement into the restoration and
conservation of Earth's human wildlife-- unpolluted human
perception, mind, consciousness, community, culture and
lifeway; we are doomed to remain victims trapped in a
reactive mode, reacting to the diverse pollutions of humanity.

Civilization's manifold pollutions of childhood's mind,
consciousness, spirit, being, self, life and world are
the original and generating source of adulthood's
pollutions of Earth's evolved, natural environment as well as
our pollutions and fragmentations of organic eco-families and
eco-communities.

The pollutions of our children develop the invasive,
alien, behavioral patterns of corporations and governments:
develop the anti-nature and anti-human nature doctrines
and enterprises of our science and education, paving
the human pathway into corporate and govermental
destructions piercing all life within Earth-life-world.

The source of the ongoing destructions of all the pristine,
beauties and treasures of life out there is the ongoing
destruction of the pristine, beauties and treasures within us.

The random destruction of Earth's natural environment
springs from the precise destruction of Her evolved,
natural human nature, being, consciousness, perception,
intelligence, her ecological families, communtities, culture and
lifeway.

We have known for decades that adult behaviors and
enterprises are determined primarily during early childhood
and, secondarily, during the remaining years of youth. To
change what adults are doing out there in "the natural
environment;" we must change what they (we) are doing to
the natural environment within human perceptions,
senses, minds, hearts, souls, lives, consciousness and
culture.

By choosing proaction over reaction, we commence
restoring and conserving the unpolluted, naturality of our
children. We move toward staging an ongoing rebellion
against the artificialization of childhood development being
waged by the commercialism, corporatism and sci-
technologism of power and profit seeking enterprises of
every stripe, imaginable and creatable.

The people of the Earth must reclaim the natural, human
environment within themselves, before they can reclaim
the natural environment "out there."

The destruction of the human environment within us
is the generating source of the destruction of the nonhuman,
natural environment "outside us."

It is non-natural human minds, hearts and souls that are
creating non-natural environments for both humanity and
all Earth-life.

To save Humanity and Earth-life, we must clean up, restore
and liberate our children, via our childhood.

To redeem our lost humanity, we must restore natural,
human nurturing within the context of natural
ecosystems. Human re-naturalization is human
re-nurturaliztion.

To love our children is to uncage them; to return them
to Earth's natural relationships with natural family,
community, and ecosystem.

Modern, commercial, materialistic science is blind to our
human nurturome, which receives the new-born human
organism and its genome. Young parents must behold the
reality of our nurturome; and form a movement to restore it.
Materialistic science rejects it; the people must embrace it.

Our arrogant, Modern thinking has tried everything else;
and will continue to try more and new everything elses:
everything but the oldest solution and medicine (and what
every good shaman primordially knew), restoring the union
of Earth's human nature with Earth's living nature.

The fate of our human species lies in the deep, instinctive
hands and hearts of parents and eco-communities; not in
formal, commercialized, corporatized education.

The human journey has, for eons, been led by
the manifold forms of love, springing from pure,
unpolluted, parental love, growing outward and upward
into Earth-life's pure, unpolluted, human eco-families and
eco-communities, cradled in Earth-life.

Ecology: Human Evolution Vs. History (B)

Final Terrorism

No being is an island unto itself.
Yet, 'civilization' poses human being,
For want of natural mind's seeing,
Supreme on Earth, a being unto itself.

Alien constructs and lordly foundries
Cross Life's natural boundaries;
Confines humans and beasts to commerce-shelf

No organically grown, human purities,
No natural, human nature, honored and held;
No harvested knowings, no posterity-sowings.

No natural eco-defensives,
Nor native-child-homeland essences.
Desire invades mind; heart expelled.
Soul of matter wilted; ego-self swelled.

***********************************************************


During and after the Twentieth Century, the modern mind has
increasingly dug into the idea that humans can and do exist
independently from the other species, from Earth's world of
inter-relational, ecological beings. From Flash Gordon
to Star Trek and into accelerating irresponsible sci-techno
escapism-explorationism, to the colonization of Mars: all these
fantasies spring from the false belief in independent, lone,
autonomous, human being(and beingness).

The innate nature of Earth-life's humanity, however, is otherwise:
all life forms exist through their participation in an evolving
process and system of Earth-life. Prehistoric and a'civilization',
Earth-folk sociocultures were/are quite aware of this; while we
are in violation and denial of humanity's whole, natural self. Our
incremental slipping out of this primordial understanding is our
slipping out of Earth-life's world of species-beings, evolved
and sustained through natural selection of our evolved nurturings
constituting our human culture-medium-matrix. We are falling
out of our human being, reality, behavior and sustainability,
instructed by our evolved nongenetic blueprint, our nurturome.

The marks of Humanity's original fall from paradise, from grace,
from natural goodness, are its inherent oppression of human
intelligence and its exhaustion of other natural resources. This is
seen in the rises and dispersals of city-states, nations and empires.
This 'civilization' socioculture is now a globalized, interlocked
oppression of humanity and Earth-life. The laws of Earth-life dictate
its final fall. A gradual restoration and conservation of our
nurturome is our only amelioration, our partial redemption.

A wide, ecological identification with Earth-life-world, if
ontologically-spiritually deep enough, can regenerate some
rebirthings of our evolved, original, humanity, a humanness
authentic to us and the Earth-life cradling us. This is a
rebirth of Westernized humanity's alienized human being and
socioculture back into renaturalized, renurturalized organic
family-community-ecosystem-habitat identity and autonomy
-- beyond mere individual expansion of consciousness and
identification with the wilderness, meditation and other convenient
selections from the entirety of Earth's nature and human nature.

This rebirthing is of the whole self, its family(self),
community(self), the natural self-life-world, and
nurture-culture, our human nurturome: all these dwelling within
living nature. After all, these are evolutionally created, are
intergrown, inter-functional, inter-fulfillmental and
inter-perpetuational within living nature's ecosystems of
her ecosphere, generating the growth-fulfillment-perpetuation
of life, and of life's species of beings. (continued)

Wildness, Savagery, Disintegration Vs Order, Unity, Growth (A)

The natural condition, order and unity of Earth's life is the process called Earth's evolution of life. Civilization runs wild outside this orderly, united process, in many artificial directions and forms, in violations Earth-life.

The only ecological, natural order of Earth-life, as well as her humanity within this natural process of life,
is Earth's evolution of her species of life, including natural humanity, preceeding our violation by civilization.

The Modern Age continues to deepen the dichotomization of Life on Earth into (a) the "wild" of living Earth's natural order, and (b) the "civil" order, the domesticated, the tame, of Civilization's socioculture.

The dichotomy is there. But false in it's depicted nature. The truth lies deeper, buried by convenient and foundational lies. The pure, natural order of Earth-life, it's evolution and sustained condition, is the natural order, patterns, boundaries, identities, characteristics, and selections, forming the orderliness and cohesiveness of Her species, genuses and families. Earth-life forms this as one unified system of Evolutionary Life. Civilization, on the other hand, and contrary to programmed, educated belief, is the original, emergence of wildness, in conflict with both our orderly, 250 year-old species of humanity and our humanity encradled wihtin Earth-life.

Civilization breaks away from the gradual careful, timings, sequences and ingredientials of evolved Earth-life's balance, blueprints, distinct identities, selections and orderliness composing evolved, orderly forms of life. This is Human Life's matrix-medium-blueprint of organismicity, via natural selections and mutations. Penetrating this natural order of Life, civilization is the emergence of wildness, disorder, violation and savagery within Humanity, spreading outward into Earth-life, her ecosystems and habitats.

After all, what is the central characteristic and phenomenon of human life and being, and all Earth-life? It is, respectively, two million years of humanity's, and four billion years of Life's, accumulated order, balance, unity and organismicity -- the wholeness and oneness of the system of Life on Earth. It is Life's organismicity. It's Life's natural order with proven sustainabilty.

Do not believe the Modern myth and lie that Living Nature is the Wild! It is civilization that breaks out of Life's natural order balance and unity, and departs into the wildness, chaos, savagery, disintegration and destruction of both humanity's and Earth-life's orderliness, balance, unities, blueprints, and ecologies providing growth and sustainability through the eons.
